NOVEL NEXT Chapter 4: Chapter 4
Personally I feel relived that my grandfather is now detoxified not only that but he has become stronger than the average douluo due to benefits a soul core provides which did solve the problem of being poisoned but the defects on the martial soul bloodline remain which my grandfather left up to me to solve as I will be the one to continue our bloodline so I can fully commit to my martial soul development plan and improving my cultivation and I finally ate Nine Treasure Purple Zoysia which helped me strengthen my martial soul origin and bloodline which is needed to support martial soul evolution
Not only that but is speed up and increased my cultivation to level 30 which a major check point in soul master cultivation where the martial soul will resonate with the soul master for the first time, and the power of the martial soul's bloodline will become active to further strengthen the martial soul.
This is also the main reason why one cannot break through unless his soul power level reaches level 30 before the age of 20. because after the age of twenty, the power of the bloodline has basically stabilized, and it is difficult to activate it through self-cultivation alone so one can basically see its importance and significance to reaching the top.
Given its special nature I intend to take advantage of it to complete preliminary transformation and help myself detoxify so the selection of third soul ring is of great importance and it must be of high enough quality to affect my martial soul together with my first two soul rings to produce the desired effect and mutate my bloodline and ensure snake is the main supplemented by dragon bloodline for fusion to form my own unique bloodline through soul core method when I condense one
While having dragon bloodline and evolving in to a dragon is great one must not forget my martial soul is a snake albeit with dragon blood which has been supplemented so the desired direction for the evolution is snake but it can't be any ordinary snake so my choice for the soul ring is quite special as we know it is easy to associate snake with poisons but not cure not to mention the repercussions like the forces it will offend and amount of attention it will attract
My third soul ring comes from moon-patterned water snake which is not only a rare non-venomous snake but also possess the power of purification as poison and cure can be a mini version of yin and yang that evolved all things which is helpful for my goal absorbing it soul ring not only grants me the soul skill moonlight blessing which restores mental strength and purify negative status this soul skills mainly uses water attribute soul power and the power of the moon along with soul power in the environment thanks to my third ring having the attributes of water , moon and spirit along with my other attributes and bloodline forming a balance with golden bloodline which allowed my martial soul complete its initial transformation due to resonance between the activation of bloodline and soul rings like completing a puzzle
But it isn't quite an evolution but more of an mutation but enough for me to detoxify with the help of my second and third soul skill which isn't a reason to give up my plan halfway as I don't want to do things half heartedly and leave a hidden danger in my martial soul bloodline but evolve it completely to improve its quality and lower limit plus reduce chances of mutation especially malignant ones
Stability has been a reason why mutant martial souls are rare alongside second awakening and why martial souls are generally inherited from parents
Martial Soul is an extension of one's own blood and spirit, and can also feed back talent to oneself the generally accepted view in the Soul Master community today is the bloodline theory, which means that bloodline is the root of Martial Soul, and Martial Soul is the manifestation of bloodline.
It is generally believed that the purer, older, and higher-level the bloodline, the higher the quality and potential of the martial spirit. Bloodline determines the martial spirit, so there are very few dog-blood incidents of raising the wrong child on the Douluo Continent.
If I'm going to evolve my martial soul it is better to be through and comprehensive enough which mainly follows balance school of martial soul development without sacrificing my advantage especially the cost-effectiveness of doing so and not follow it blindly as there are two major schools of soul master development each having their pros and cons
The Balance School believes that the situations faced by soul masters in battle are complex and changeable, and a soul master must develop in a balanced manner in line with the attributes of his own martial soul.
The Extreme School believes that each martial spirit has its own characteristics, and they choose their strongest attributes to maximize what their martial spirit is good at.
The two sides argue endlessly about this. The extreme faction believes that omnipotence means mediocrity, while the balanced faction believes that the extreme faction has too many weaknesses.
What I am doing now is just making the ground work smoother a soul ring may add talents to a martial soul but they are just that soul power is the key of turning talent into strength so that when the time comes I won't be helpless and in disadvantage but I also want to have something to rely on as my back bone and turn the tides
Personally I think it is just a matter of priority as all paths lead to the same goal except for special cases not to mention after reaching a certain point of cultivation you need to walk your own path with the foundation you accumulated and built there is no right or wrong only if it is suitable to do so or not after all everyone's perception and understanding is different not to mention bias as practice after all is the criterion for truth not to mention must also take into account one's circumstances
